Thank you. I received the letter from the IRS. This is great news. I am very appreciative of all the help that you provided during this process. Throughout the process I had a strong sense of confidence knowing that the Nonprofit Legal Center team is so successful in acquiring tax-exempt status for its clients. Once again you came through. Thank you very much.

What seems to be a very complicated process to a layman, which certainly requires technical knowhow and understanding of the tax code, there is no doubt your firm made things easier for us in this application.

Thomas Worbel and Associates have been a great asset to my organization. I paid by fees to TW&A but was unable to complete the required paperwork due to various reasons for an extended period of time. Years later, they not only helped me complete all applications, but finished and we received our non-profit status in record time. I have known Thomas for several years, and he and his staff have always been totally professional and helpful in all my needs. I highly recommend his services as his business has helped me and many other non-profits to remain up and running to IRS standards, in addition to offering additional services. A better service to start your 501c3 organization cannot be found.

Thomas Wrobel, helped out our foundation, when we were needing someone to quickly execute our non-profit status that had been attended to incorrectly. Thomas is caring, has incredible knowledge and a very efficient staff. We at GrantAngelWishesandTravel.org highly recommend his work and company for your next project. We are excited to be certified a 5013c and to continue to work with Thomas Wrobel & Associates.

I am very passionate about the 1L.I.F.E Foundation non-profit's mission and objectives and T.S. Wrobel and Associates (Krista, Stella, Courtney, Masumi) helped me bring this dream to life. The staff was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable to our needs. My experience with Tom and the staff was both pleasurable and professional from the beginning to end. They made the very tedious process of getting our 501c3 tax exempt status very smooth and painless. Thanks Tom, Krista, Stella and Masumi, Courtney! I will highly recommend your firm to those that are seeking to obtain their 501c3 tax exempt status to use your services.

Those who have started (or tried to start) a 501c3 charitable organization know form 1023 all too well.
